Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer technology, specifically to an oil-immersed power transformer. Background Technology
[0002] Oil-immersed transformers are a type of transformer where the coils are immersed in oil. Due to fire safety requirements, oil-immersed transformers are typically installed in a separate transformer room or outdoors. They are characterized by their large size, low cost, simple maintenance, good heat dissipation, strong overload capacity, and wide environmental adaptability.
[0003] When a transformer is put into operation, high-voltage and low-voltage side connections need to be made. The high-voltage side is characterized by extremely high voltage, and its core challenges are insulation and safety. The low-voltage side is characterized by extremely high current, and its core challenges are current-carrying capacity and connection reliability. Currently, existing oil-immersed power transformers used outdoors suffer from inadequate safety protection on the high-voltage side and unstable low-voltage side connections, making them prone to safety accidents or power supply anomalies during operation.
[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need to design an oil-immersed power transformer to solve the technical defects of existing transformers. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an oil-immersed power transformer, comprising a transformer body, a high-voltage side wiring unit and a low-voltage side wiring unit, and a high-voltage protective cover connected to the transformer body. The high-voltage side wiring units are all located within the high-voltage protective cover, and a high-voltage wiring window is provided on the side of the high-voltage protective cover. Each low-voltage side wiring unit includes a terminal, a mounting base, and a wiring sleeve. The terminal is fixedly connected to the transformer body and electrically connected to the windings inside the transformer body. A positioning post is provided on the outer periphery of the terminal and is connected to the transformer body. The mounting base is connected to the positioning post. The wiring sleeve includes a sleeve body and an electrical connection component located inside the sleeve body. One end of the sleeve body extends outward to form a positioning edge, and the other end of the sleeve body is provided with a cable electrically connected to the electrical connection component. The positioning edge is abutted against the mounting base. The positioning post passes sequentially through the mounting base and the positioning edge. A fastener is connected to the positioning post, and the fastener is located on the side of the positioning edge away from the mounting base.
[0006] In one possible implementation, the electrical connection assembly includes parallel positioning fasteners, with annularly arranged conductive contacts connected to the outer periphery of the positioning fasteners. The outer edge of the positioning fasteners has a positioning slot, and the conductive contacts are connected within the positioning slot. An annular spring is sleeved around the outer periphery of the conductive contacts, and an electrical contact surface is provided on the inward-facing side of the conductive contacts.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the cable is electrically connected to the conductive contact via a soft copper wire.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the terminal block includes a terminal frustum and a conductive column located at the center of the terminal frustum, with a shock-absorbing element provided between the terminal frustum and the mounting base.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the shock absorber has a first connection hole, the positioning edge has a second connection hole, the mounting base has a clearance opening, the inner edge of the clearance opening has an inner groove, and the positioning post passes through the first connection hole, the inner groove and the second connection hole in sequence to connect with the fastener.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the shock absorber includes an upper crimping end face and a lower crimping end face. The upper crimping end face has a protrusion, and the lower crimping end face has a side stop. The mounting base is fitted to the upper crimping end face, the protrusion of the mounting base abuts against the inner edge of the relief opening, the lower crimping end face is fitted to the upper end face of the wiring frustum, and the side stop abuts against the side of the wiring frustum.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the shock absorber is made of silicone rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the fastener is a nut, and a washer is provided between the fastener and the mounting base.
[0013] In one possible implementation, a top plate is connected to the transformer body, and the positioning post is connected to the top plate.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the high-voltage side wiring unit is provided in three sets, and the low-voltage side wiring unit is provided in four sets.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages: This technical solution involves an oil-immersed power transformer equipped with a high-voltage protective enclosure to cover the high-voltage side connection unit, forming a semi-enclosed barrier in the area where the high-voltage side boundary unit is located, physically isolating the high-voltage live parts from the external environment. This effectively prevents creepage, flashover, and even short-circuit accidents caused by dirt, condensation, or foreign object contact, greatly improving insulation reliability.
[0016] This technical solution for the low-voltage side connection unit of the oil-immersed power transformer uses a positioning post that passes through the mounting base and positioning edge, and is then locked with fasteners. This structure ensures precise alignment between the connecting shaft sleeve and the transformer terminal, avoiding reduced contact area due to installation deviation. The large-area contact between the positioning edge and the mounting base, combined with the locking force of the fasteners, can transmit pressure evenly and stably to the internal electrical connection components, ensuring sufficient and constant contact pressure with the terminal, thereby obtaining minimal and stable contact resistance. This guarantees the current-carrying capacity of the low-voltage side connection unit and can meet the needs of high current transmission. It is particularly suitable for transformers installed outdoors in environments prone to vibration, and eliminates power outages caused by loose connections. Attached Figure Description
